  • set the MainMsg stream to unbuffered (QueueType = Direct), set the Action stream to unbuffered for writes to the FS, to "LinkedList" for writes to Loggly.
  • Fairly serious typo in the Loggly formatter template string, but non-breaking (unprocessed log entries go to Loggly regardless as a catch-all)
  • Unbuffered after Loggly.

Dependencies

  • must be up to date on loggly / rsyslog config
  • deployment should include additional spot-check for stale configuration files (eg, /etc/rsyslog.d/21-filemonitor*conf) and remove them prior to restarting rsyslogd.
